## Resource

Notre Dame’s 2026 offense faces a brutal gauntlet of elite defenses—ranked from one to five. Miami tops the list with a stacked D-line and secondary, led by a returning coordinator. BYU, despite losing its DC, boasts a strong CB duo and promising linebackers, but questions linger about its pass rush. SMU could surprise with solid linebackers and a returning secondary—if their defensive line clicks. Wisconsin brings a blend of veterans and portal additions, while North Carolina rounds out the top five with a standout DE, a reliable secondary, and a coach entering his second year.
